The Green Team
Connecting Young People with Nature
The Green Team has been successfully running programmes of outdoor activities for young people since 1995. Our programmes offer a unique blend of practical conservation tasks, outdoor fun, environmental education and personal development. We work with individuals, school groups and referring partners. There really is something for everybody.
